I'm sure plenty of people would have rather seen some other monster than Orga in DAMM at the time, but he got in because he was the newest Godzilla foe (to the US, at least). But if not Monster X, then wouldn't a new monster be preferred than an old one, since we'll be getting those guys back later...? Would be nice to start out this game with a few new faces. And again, if not Monster X, then what else is there... Gabara (Yes please.)? Ebirah (No. Gabara.)? We've already had the more famous monsters (I would say Battra, but I already had Mothra. VARIETY!).

He'd probably be a pretty neat fighter as well. Reminds me of M. Bison with all that hovering. Didn't he have a rising spin kick to tail whack attack in Final Wars? But I guess if the fans prefer someone else, then it can't be helped, lol.


I like your way of thinking. It isn't going to kill the Showa Enthusiasts if we incorporate Monster X instead of Gabara or Ebirah. Sure, something from the olden days might be nostalgic, but if anything you should service the Final Wars crowd that hasn't seen jack shize aside from FW Gigan and the hybrid King Caeser.

And his hovering jump-combo would be an awseome move. Monster X is no slouch, and I'd absolutely love for him to be in the initial release. Besides, its not like he's permanently displacing another monster. We'll be getting expansions over time, and then you'll get your obscure Toho beasties. No sense it putting in someone like Kamoebas or Gezora over Monster X.

I hope I'm making sense here. Sure, Ebirah, Gabara, and all those little-knowns should be implemented, but if I were to choose them or Monster X for an initial release, I'd go with skull-and-bone-armor 9 out of 10 times.

Grayshot, could you give an update on which monsters have the most votes?

I really like this list. I don't really care for Biollante or Baragon though. They're not essential and are obscure-ish. I think the first release should include the more popular monsters and most popular incarnation of said characters. So instead of having 2 Godzilla's, just have one. I'd personally like to see FW Godzilla get the position, or even Godzilla '75. Mechagodzilla should be in his Showa incarnation, (and his model could use some work). Anguirus would look good in his FW design. Gigan and Rodan should also stay in their Showa designs. Mothra could be in his Leo form or Rainbow form for a lot of weapons variety and Ghidorah should either Grand King Ghidorah or Showa Ghidorah. I'm also a little iffy on Monster X. Maybe replace him with someone more popular at the moment then release him in an expansion pack.

Oh wow, surprised to see FW Anguirus support. I thought everyone loved his Showa design? Must be the eyes. I would probably go with the newest incarnations for every monster on my list, save for Anguirus and maybe Hedorah.

If not Baragon or Biollante... then probably Orga. Or... Jet Jaguar. Could use another mech. He stands out pretty well. Godzilla vs Megalon is pretty infamous anyhow.

Glad to see people like my list though, save for only one or two monsters. I'll still stick by X and Biollante, though. BD

As far as incarnations go, here's my take:

Showa:Angurius, Hedorah, King Ghidorah

Heisei:Mothra, Rodan, Moguera

Shinsei/Millenium: Ebirah, Manda, Kamacuras,

Indecisive: Baragon, Gigan, Godzilla('75,90's, 2000), King Caesar, Kumonga

Oasis, we have similar taste in compact rosters! Here's the 12 I posted in the Quality vs. Quantity thread from a while back:

Godzilla
Mothra
King Ghidorah
Rodan
Mechagodzilla
Anguirus
Gigan
Megalon
Hedorah
Zilla
Destoroyah
Monster X


If I could add 2 though, I'd go with Minya and Biollante. Yes, that Minya.

Personally, I'm split pretty evenly between Showa and Millenium Anguirus. Showa is the classic look, but I kind of like FW Angy's color scheme (gray skin and gold spikes) - it really sets him apart from all the other brown kaiju out there. The same goes for FW Rodan (orange) and GMK Baragon (red).

With Ebirah, I like both designs as well but think Showa would be better for a game so his asymmetrical claws could be used for different attacks.

I prefer Showa Kamacuras because the orange always looked more unique than the green on a mantis. Also, the asymmetrical claws thing applies here too.

For Kumonga, I prefer Millenium because of his general build and coloration (thicker legs, brighter yellow). Also, the less hairy FW Kumonga might be easier to design in a game.

I'd like to place in my own input, I've read up on the monsters and their bios on this website and I must admit that I have become heavily interested within a surprising number of them. Although I've only been lightly exposed I am becoming more and more interested within the franchise. And with a possible game based around the unique creatures themselves I'd like to invest my own input within all of this.

Godzilla (Final Wars Millennium)
Dagahra
Battra (Larva and Adult)
Monster X
Gigan (Millennium )
Mothra (SOS + GFW)
Varan
Keizer Ghidorah
Gabara
Kiryu (Godzilla against MechaGodzilla, and Tokyo SOS)
Godzilla Junior
Godzilla (Heisei)
Destoroyah
Ebirah (Millennium)
Rodan (Showa)
Gaira
King Ghidorah (Showa)
Zone Fighter
Megalon
Baragon (Showa)

Re: "Godzilla Game" Title Ideas

Postby Lenbo » Wed May 02, 2012 3:24 pm

Kaiju Combat Online

Destroy All Kaiju

Destroy All Monsters Online

Destroy All Monsters Melee 2

I like the idea of having "Online" in the title, although I worry that might cause some to think it's some kind of MMO.

I don't know how feasible it is to name it DAMM2, but I thought it would be the most evident as to what kind of game it is.

Not every G-Fan is going to/has money to donate. It's at least reasonable that the few fans here on TK are the ones dedicated enough to care about another Godzilla game. Has there been anything to get the word out...?


Here's my quick calculation - if we can get 6,000 fans to pre-order the game for $50, we're all set.

Most of the past G-games I've worked on sold around 500,000 copies for about that price point, so it seems not at all impossible that we can reach 6,000 of those people.

Just to confirm, we can pay the Kickstarter donation through Amazon, right?

Yes, I believe the only option is to pay through Amazon.

Okay I added Maguma, and got everyone above but let me reaffirm two things.

1) Remember to label monsters. This list is for specific monsters so PLEASE remember.

2) If you have voted you CAN'T change your vote after (SURGEON). No offense it just makes it alot easier on me and keeps the list somewhat stable. I also do keep track, why I made the list of submitters.

*Lastly, the top monsters of the list are
1)Hedorah + Destroyah at 29
2) Megalon at 25?
3) Titanosaurus at 24
4) Kiryu + Anguirus (Showa) at 23
5) Godzilla (Showa) + Space Godzilla & Zilla at 21

From Kickstarter's page:

"What fees does Kickstarter charge?
Kickstarter collects a 5% fee from the project’s funding total if and only if a project is successfully funded. Amazon (our payments processor) also charges credit card processing fees that generally work out to 3-5%."

Actually, to be fair, GFW Ebirah's claws are also asymmetrical and could be used for different attacks as well.

The only difference between the two is that GFW Ebirah looks more...Well structured, then the Showa version.
